Andrea would like to organize SHO as either an LLC (taxed as a sole proprietorship) or a C corporation. In either form, the entity is expected to generate an 11 percent annual before-tax return on a $200,000 investment. Andrea's marginal income tax rate is 35 percent and her tax rate on dividends and capital gains is 15 percent. Andrea will also pay a 3.8 percent net investment income tax on dividends and capital gains she recognizes. If Andrea organizes SHO as an LLC, Andrea will be required to pay an additional 2.9 percent for self-employment tax and an addition 0.9 percent for the additional Medicare tax. Further, she is eligible to claim the full deduction for qualified business income. Assume that SHO will pay out all of its after-tax earnings every year as a dividend if it is formed as a C corporation.  

a). How much cash after taxes would Andrea receive from her investment in the first year if SHO is organized as either an LLC or a C corporation?

LLC---after tax cash flow?

C Corporation--after cash flow?

  1. Libby Co. is an unlevered firm. Investors currently expect a 12.75% return on the company’s equity. The company is subject to a 24% corporate tax rate.

  1. If earnings before taxes are expected to be $15.85m per year forever, calculate the total value of this company.

Now suppose this company wants to shift its capital structure to add debt. It wants to issue $31.5 million of perpetual debt at a cost of 5.5%.

  1. Use the FTE method to calculate the value of the company’s equity after the recapitalization.
  2. What is the total value of the company after the recapitalization?
  3. Using MMII with taxes, what should be the total value of the company after issuing the debt?
  4. What is the debt-equity ratio of this company after the recapitalization?

Suppose the levered company is looking to invest in a new project. The project costs $27 million and will be financed at the debt-equity ratio you calculated in d. The project generates EBIT of $5.9 million in perpetuity.

  1. Would you advise Libby to invest in this project? (Hint: use the FTE method…be sure to show how much borrowing you will do and what annual interest costs will be).
